Jeff,
I am working with a user that is moving some applications from tomcat to
geronimo. Due to some problems they have had to modify tomcat source.
I was chatting with jasonb on the tomcat irc channel and he
recommended that we only build the classes rather than rebuilding all of
tomcat. He discouraged rebuilding all of tomcat because there are many
permutations that can result in different build images and we should run
with as much of the official tomcat build as possible to avoid problems.
He also indicated that Tomcat's directory structure provides a place
to put these "patch classes" in CATALINA_HOME/server/classes .
Is there a similar place that we can put classes when tomcat is running
under geronimo to have them picked up? Adding the tomcat classes to our
new sharedlib doesn't seem to be the right place because it would
require a dependency from the tomcat config on sharelib. The net result
would be that all tomcat apps would potentially pick up user classes
added in sharedlib even if the user only intended these classes for some
subset of the apps.
